    Too bad, I was sure whilst reading the owners manual it stated the upgraded unit had those capabilities. Such a basic thing now its funny it doesn't have it lol.

    And THIS is why people hate Americans.

    But to answer the OP, I get 19.1 MPG. Thats on winter gas, occasional 4X4 use (during our weekly winter blizzards) and a commute of about 30 miles a day, split between highway and surface roads. I was very disappointed with my MPG, my buddies Dodge Ram 1500 gets 24 MPG highway. Dont get too upset though, what we loose in gas mileage, we gain in resale value.
